Perl,Perl,Perl....please help.

Hi all.
i bought myself a book about PERL and CGI, but this book really suck.
it doesn't explain most of the concepts that are fundemental in PERL.

it would first tell you what a scalar and a list is, then next it would show you an example of
a cgi script that would retrieve form data and sends it via e-mail to where-ever.

i have done a bit of c and c++ and i do know javascript,and html.

it not all that hard to learn these languages but, i spent ALL MY F..CKEN money on this book,
and its not well organized.

does anyone know a good Perl site???

thank u
for taking time to listen to listen to my whiny ass;).
cheers

if you're looking for good instruction sites, try these:
[list=1][*]www.programmingtutorials.com/perl.aspx [*]www.oopweb.com/Perl/Files/Perl.html [/list=1]

or if you're looking for source code... ya gotta love www.cgi-resources.com

hope these can offer some insight :)

www.perl.com

Great documentation at : www.perl.com/pub/q/documentation

I also highly recommend three O'reily books (this is cooincidentally who makes the above site)

Perl Cookbook, ISBN 1-56592-243-3
Perl Programming
Advanced Perl Programming, ISBN 1-56592-220-4

Sorry, don' thave the regular programming book, by the time I bought them I didn't need it :)
